Luxury Totalitarianism

UAE Sheikh filmed committing torture.

From a commenter there comes this link:

Syed Ali was in Dubai interviewing expatriate workers for a book. The day before he was due to leave, six strangers arrived at his flat and took him to the police compound. A 13-hour interrogation lay ahead ...

This is classic:

"What do you mean?" I asked. "I think it is the Jewish," he said. "Why would 'the Jewish' be funding me, a Muslim American, to ask questions of people in Dubai?" "I do not know, but I think it is them ... and maybe the CIA."

In addition to being anti-semitic morons (sorry for the repetition), they're also utterly incompetent -- read the last few paragraphs.
